Has anyone ever replaced there old dry rotted Outer Glass Seal ?
If so Where do you start? Do you have to take the door apart or does the old one just pop out? I have looked and can't find much information on this. Thanks in advance for any information!

 

they just pop out. you roll down the window all the way and look down inside the door and you'll see the metal clips that hold them on, just use a flathead screwdriver and with some finessing they should come right out. putting the new ones in you just pop em in and you're done.

 

Awesome !!! Thanks Zach!

 

I've replaced them back in the day..... IIRC, you can just pull them right out, but it is easier if you pull the window out first. To install them, I remember just squishing them back into their homes (with the window installed and rolled up).

Edit... Oops... too slow.

 

Yeah dude, you're welcome. you should do a mini write-up on it

 

Good Idea!
I will in my other thread https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/40...k-91-xj-32224/

 

Any one know where to get new ones? I found them on one site but they wanted $58 a piece.

 

dealer but there costly there also i got lucky at the jy found a good set, in the old days they called them cats wiskers

 

Try Morris 4x4 or TeamCherokee

 

Look around some XJ part sites, I know I've seen them for $12-18 apeice. http://www.jeeppartspro.com

 

i need the vertical ones that go on the windows...can't seem to find any

 

Morris 4x4 has those... go HERE

 

check the jy too you might find some good ones. i got them all for all four doors inside and out for 25 bucks,looked brand new.

 

Morris 4X4 has the outer window seal, but there $58.99 for the 97-01. 84-96 is only 11.99. Why such a difference? I don't have to many junk yards around here, but I'm going to try to find one with an xj this week.

 

To remove window clips, simply roll the window down all the way and look inside the door panel. You'll see the metal clips holding the window in place. Use a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry them out—they should come loose with a bit of finesse. To install the new clips, just pop them into place and you're good to go.
